CENTRIFUGAL HYDRO-WRINGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 261,827, dated August 1, 1882.

Application led April 17, 1882. (No model.) I

To all whom t may concern:

Be itknowu that LTERsILE L. BozzALLA, a citizen of Torino, in the Province of Lombardy and Kingdom of Italy, in Europe, at present residing in the city of St. Louis and LState of Missouri, have made a new and useful Improvement in Centrifugal Hydro-Wringers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation with a part of the frame broken away to show the drivinggears and parts, also a part of the casing broken away to show the interior of the hydrowringer cylinder. Fig. 2 is a top view of the machine.

The same letters denote the same parts.

The present invention relates to the mechanism and the details immediately therewith connected for constructing and operating a centrifugal hydro-wringer by lever orother power.

Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 represents the frame-work for holding and supporting a centrifugal cylinder and its casing, together with the several other parts ofA machinery which are attached for revolving the cylinder rapidly and working the same cheaper than has heretofore been done. lThe frame immediately around the `outside of the casing '1 is made4 of the side timbers, m3 m4 m5 m6, and their duplicates at its top and bottom, together with the posts o o2 o3 o4 at the corners, all of which are properly fastened together. A Hoor of plank is laid across the bottom timbers, m3., upon which the metallic casing T, with an open top and closed bottom, rests and is fastened.

S representsan open-topped and closed-bot; tom metallic cylinder, which is perforated with numerous small holes all around its sides. This is rigidly secured upon the shaft r, Fig. 1, by which it, with its contents, through force imparted to it through the other parts of the mechanism employed, is rapidly revolved in the inside of the casing T. Sufficient space is left between these two cylinders to permit the water thrown out through the perforations by the centrifugal force of the revolving cylinder to be discharged therein and tlow out through the cock u. The shaft r at its bottom restsin a step attached upon thebottom inside ofca-sing T. At its top it rests in the box P3. It has a small pulley, c, (or a gear,) upon it, by which it is driven.

For the purpose of saving expense I have made improvements for driving this machinery by hand-power.

To accomplish my object, I annex to the frame-work already described the triangular frame'shown in Fig. 2, made of the timbers m n u o at the top, with their duplicates at the bottom, as shown by m", Fig. 1. The two posts o o4 extend up sufficiently high to permit of the timber m being attached to and held firmly by them. Attached to this frame-work are the box P and step P4, in which the shaft g revolves, having thelarge driving-gear C on its upper end rigidly attached. This drivinggear gears into the small gear e upon the lower end of the shaft f, which has a large lianged pulley,d, on it nearits upper end. The liange may be dispensed with. This shaft stands in the step-box P and revolves in the box P. The belt g passes around the large pulley d and around the small pulley n, connecting them for transmitting power and mot-ion for revolving the perforated cylinder IS. In order to im part power and motion to these working parts, the fulcrum connecting-rod bis attached loosely to the large gear-wheel through an eye upon the pin h in the arm ot' the large gearwheel O at one of its ends and atits other end by a similar device to the lever a. The lever a is weighted upon the pinj, which is se-A cured to the frame. Upon the long end of this lever aretwo sockets,open, 7c It', to lengthen it by a movable extensionpiece, if desired. In order to hold thelever in placefwhile working it forward or back the guard-piecel,witl1 in which it moves, is used. Power applied to this lever causes the running parts to revolve and drives the perforated cylinder with great' speed. By placing these driving parts vertically and changing my arrangements some the lever motion may be made vertical as well as horizontal, as shown.

I am aware of centrifugal cylinders being used for this purpose, and therefore do not claim that, broadly; but

What 1 consider as my improvement, and
